The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) was established
by the NRC Act of 1955 to operate and regulate the railway
system in Nigeria
Between 1898 and 1964, a network of narrow gauge rail
lines totaling 3,505 km had been built.
In 1986, the FGN commenced construction of additional
274 km standard gauge line from Itakpe – Ajaokuta - Warri
In 2011, the construction of 187km Abuja – Kaduna
standard gauge line commenced 87

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
RAILWAY STRATEGIC VISION
 In its determination to revive and
modernize the Railway System in line
with the 25 year Strategic Vision, a
systematic dual approach is adopted by
the Federal Government entailing the
Rehabilitation of the entire existing
narrow gauge lines simultaneously with
the development of standard gauge lines.

Rehabilitation of Narrow Gauge Lines
•The rehabilitation of over 90% of the entire existing narrow gauge
lines throughout the country is on-going and at various stages of
completion. The rehabilitation is the first segment of the 25 years
railway strategic vision.
•The main Western line, Lagos – Kano, 1,124km is completed and
passenger services and haulage of goods along the line were
flagged off in December, 2012, while the Eastern line, Port
Harcourt-Maiduguri, 1,657km is expected to be completed before
the end of 2013.
•The Contract for the Rehabilitation of Apapa Port Railway Network
and Signal Works which is made up of double track of 1.5km each

PORTS AND HARBOURS
In 2006, the Federal Government of Nigeria carried out comprehensive
Ports Reforms that made NPA the Landlord and Technical Regulator.
Delineated the Ports into Terminals and concessioned them to private
operators
Terminal Operators are now responsible for all aspects of cargo handling
and Terminal upgrading under the concession agreement
As a result of the Reforms, the overall operational efficiency in the Ports has been
steadily improving, and there is appreciable increase in infrastructure provision and
maintenance by both the Federal Government and the concessionaires. In specific
terms, between 2006 and March 2013, the concessionaires have made investments in:
Cargo handling equipment - $475m
Terminal development - $450m
For the Nigerian Ports Authority,
The Rehabilitation of the East and West Moles (breakwaters),
Lagos is completed.
Rehabilitation of quay walls and quay aprons in Tin Can Island,
Warri and Port Harcourt Ports are in progress.

 Procurement process is in progress for the Consultancy Services for
the Rehabilitation of Breakwaters at Escravos and the dredging of
the Warri, Sapele and Koko channels up to the proposed Deep Sea
Port at Ogidigbe.

REMOVAL OF WRECKS AND DERELICTS
 In the last 24 months, we
have removed 62 critical
wrecks from our channels
which allowed for the
dredging of the channel to
accommodate bigger
vessels.
 Identified 19 more wrecks for
removal from the Lagos
Channel. NIMASA is
embarking on a general
wrecks removal exercise to
cover a greater part of the
Maritime Domain under a
‘NO CURE NO PAY” model
involving the Private Sector.

The Institute was established to among other things primarily
address the problems of the transport sector such as inefficient and
low productivity, fast depreciation of capital investments, deficient
management and maintenance of infrastructure, low level of
professionalism and high expenditure on overseas training, through
the supply of professionally competent leaders, managers,
technologists and other specialists; and the provision of the expertise
that will improve the industry's performance for efficiency and
effectiveness.
